Engineering and Innovation S tudio

m/s year a dedicated engineering studio has opened on the second floor o f the Science and Technology Hall, where
wide variety o f eng,neenng related projects and activities, inspired by student interests, have come to life.

Humanoid robotics with NAO robots: Students programmed NAO robots using the
Choreographe Suite software to perform storytelling, interactive presentations and'
dance sequences. They were showcased at the Talent Show, Open House events,
and the inaugural Virtual Nework NAO competition against other Sacred Heart
schools.

3D Designing and Printing: In commemoration of its upcoming 100th anniversary,
students have been using 3D design software and printer to reproduce El Jardin to a
1:72 scale model through on-site measuring, sourcing blueprints, and the observation
of rine architetural details. Carrollton currently owns two 3D printers, one single­
colored and one three-colored. In addition to these projects, students also Worked on
assembling a 3D printer using a kit.

CAV.E. (Computer and Audio Visual Education): Following a tradition within the Sacred Heart Network, the C.A.V.E. has been implemented
as part of the eng,neenng studio proving students with computer hardware, software and network education. During this inaugural year
students have provided maintenance for Carrollton's loaner fleet of laptops, which included the replacement of hardware, running and
interpreting diagnostic software, and reimaging the completed computers with Windows 8J,
Interdfeiplinary Projeds: Fostering the child as a whole, dhe engineering studio helped students with projects that integrated their various
interests and talents. IB Visual Arts students continue to integrate technology into their art pieces. This year the Arduino system (electronic
Circuitry and programming) and EL (electroluminescent) wires were added to "Ocean", an art piece that showcased a simulation of motion in
waves. 3D designing and printing has also been used in a service project benefitting "Mary's Meals," where spoons have been produced for the
fundraising campaign.
